Decided to chef up a sea robin!

Was going for scup in the Sound but they didnt feel like biting. Sea robins were everywhere though so I decided to try one for the first time.

I bonked it and quickly bled it out, then skinned and gutted it before rinsing and freezing. Thawed it today and added some seasoning, then coated it in egg wash and rice flour before frying it for 15 minutes in corn oil. The meat tasted about the same as scup and didnt have any muddy flavor. Will def try it again in the future!

Striped or northern sea robin? Caught these two yesterday in the Long Island Sound.

First one was huge!

Advice for targeting scup (porgies)?

I went fishing a couple days ago at Sherwood Island park in Connecticut, didn't land a thing. Was using the HiLo rig and some squid. I had maybe a couple taps on my rig but no hookups. What size hooks should I be using? Should I downsize my bait? Or is there a method of hooking them l'm missing? Im thinking of just visiting Liberty State Park next week instead. Feeling bummed since I drove an hour to catch nothing lmao

Had a chance to spot this little eastern box turtle crossing the road. A pretty uncommon sighting in my area!

Am I making a mistake?

I'm 22m from NY. I've been interested in lifeguarding recently but I fear that I'm too old to pursue it. My family never told me to get a job until I was almost 19 and I resent them for it. I see lots of lifegaurds at my workplace who are teens so I scared that even if I do become a lifeguard I'd have no one around me age to be with (and be supervised by someone younger than me).

I also have mild self confidence issues with my body since I have stretch marks from drastic weight loss a couple years ago. Do lifeguards wear shirts at all? I also wear glasses so I'm not sure if I can be accommodated for that..

Aside from that, I'm a little lost on the first steps to becoming one. I haven't swam in a while so do I have to take swim lessons before I sign up for a course?

I appreciate your insights thank you all!
